Ok, but by paying you basically hand them your personal information which they can now tie to your internet access patterns. So now, besides your ISP, there's one more party with this info.

EDIT: they accept cryptocurrencies, so the problem is slightly less critical.

In case you use their DOH service (or TLS), it's only them, not your ISP.

SNI (Server Name Indication) leak is still present and your ISP may know what website you're asking.
